Minor Gifts

Chapter 14 Part 2: Distractions...

A few hours passed. I had calmed down enough to notice that I owed Sylvia an apology. She didn't mean what she said, it was an innocent question for a dumb, unrealistic, game.

I over reacted.... But I had more important things tugging at my mind.

"What is wrong with me?" I mumbled under my breath.

My eyes have been acting up, frightening me for I have no idea what is happening to me.

I've been having terrible nightmares, some I can remember, but others I can't.

Mood swings... There normal for me. Adults would say its my rebellious side acting up, for I am a fresh teenager. But i'd disagree.

They have no Idea what I've been threw.Now and in my past...

So I stood up from where I was sitting and grabbed my board and marker, making my way to my window.

I could see that Blue was finally back from the rec room, but I also noticed that he looked in pain. He was cupping his cheek with his left hand and pulling his hair with his right.

"What's wrong?" I muttered as I studied him from across the black-hole (Thats what everyone calls it at the rec room).

I concentrated on his every move and facial expressions. It took a minute for me to realize that he wasn't in pain physically, rather in pain mentally.

I couldn't here the sound of him shouting but I could read his lips that were open wide.

I could only watch at he slowly hit the ground in agony. This was too much for me, I felt pity and pain for him. This was no migraine! He laid there, not moving and it looked like he wasn't breathing... I sat by my window watching over him, wishing I could do something for him... But I can't.

Suddenly a sweet scent filled the air around me.

'Not again...' I thought to myself. "Not Now!" I managed to say with a high pitched voice, as I and the other 12 teens around me, crash to the floor.

Then everything went Black.
